On the Ford 8ns, 9ns, etc specifically, one thing you can't really do
is rototill- they don't go slow enough.

Have they got live PTO?

I can rotovate with my 1950's Oliver 550's; but they do have live PTO, so the speed of rotovator tines is independent of the ground speed of the tractor. I don't know whether they'll also go slower then the 8N's, but I usually rotovate in second gear.
